Its only fair that with the Muslim Brotherhood getting 200 Abrams tanks, Hezbollah should get 200 armored personnel carriers. While tragically there was no money available to provide security for the US mission in Benghazi, theres always room for giving billion dollar weapons packages to the terrorists who attack US embassies.

In 1983, Hezbollah carried out the suicide car bombing of the US Embassy in Beirut killing 63 people, including US soldiers, and wounding 120. The suicide vehicle of choice was a delivery van. But now Hezbollah will be able to attack the next US embassy in style with the M113 Armored Personnel Carrier.

When Hezbollah overturned the Lebanese government and replaced it with a coalition dominated by the Shiite terrorist group, backed by Iran, there were worries that this might prevent Lebanon from receiving US aid.

But those worriers had clearly never met Obama who will never unfairly deprive Islamic terrorists of the weapons that they are entitled to under the code of social justice.

Israel gives Hezbollah a smack onna head... Israeli strike indicates Syria, Hezbollah may have crossed its 'red line' (+video)January 30, 2013 - Israeli jets reportedly struck an arms convoy carrying anti-aircraft missiles from Syria to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which is building up its arsenal for a possible war with Israel.

Israeli jets reportedly carried out an unprecedented airstrike along the Lebanon-Syria border today against an arms convoy carrying advanced anti-aircraft missiles to the Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah. If the alleged arms shipment is confirmed, it would be a significant development that crosses Israel's repeated "red line" regarding the transfer of advanced air defense systems to Hezbollah.

The convoy was carrying SA-17 "Grizzly" mobile medium-range anti-aircraft missiles, according to the Associated Press, which quoted Israeli and US officials. The location of the attack remained unclear, although reports said it occurred on Syrian territory close to the border with Lebanon. Since 2006, when Hezbollah and Israel fought a month-long war, the Lebanese group has steadily expanded its arsenal, both in size and capabilities, in preparation for a possible conflict with the Jewish state.

The Lebanese Army acknowledged in a statement that three waves of Israeli aircraft violated Lebanese airspace between 4:30 p.m. yesterday and 7:55 a.m. today. Israeli jets and reconnaissance drones stage flyovers above Lebanon on a near daily basis  the white contrails made by the passing aircraft are a common sight on clear days  but a Western diplomat said that there had been a substantially unusual and very high level of air activity in the past two days." Lebanese security sources denied all knowledge of an airstrike along the border and there were no reports in Lebanese media this morning of any such incident.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week gathered Israel's top security chiefs to discuss the threat posed by the war in Syria, in particular the possibility of Syrias chemical weapons arsenal falling into the hands of radical groups. Syria is believed to have one of the largest chemical weapons stockpiles in the world, including VX and Sarin nerve gas and blister agents which can be loaded into rocket warheads.

We know for a fact that Obama gave the Muslim Brotherhood tanks, jets, weapons and money. They have terrorist ties and hate Israel and the U.S. Why not just arm all our enemies while restricting guns for the people. It's clear he trusts terrorists more than citizens. Typical of an extremist.

Gunmen from the Iranian-backed Lebanese Shiite terror group reportedly joined regime units Sunday in fierce fighting that was aimed at ousting rebels from a strategic town. The fighting took place along a corridor linking Damascus with a coastal strip that is home to many of Assads Alawite clan and regime loyalists. Arab media reports said early Monday that Qusair (Qusayr), which is located near the northeastern corner of Lebanon and was first captured by anti-Assad rebels more than a year ago, had been retaken by regime and Hezbollah forces which in recent weeks had taken up positions near the town. Hezbollahs blatant involvement in the effort to recapture the rebel stronghold follows growing indications by the groups leader, Hassan Nasrallah, that it will not allow the regime in Damascus to fall to what he suggests is a conspiracy involving the U.S., Israel and radical Sunnis.

Mideast experts have long contended that, while deep concerns exist about what kind of regime might follow the toppling of Assad, his removal would indisputably deprive both Hezbollah and Iran of a vital ally. Hezbollah has claimed that its involvement in the conflict was limited to defending Lebanese Shiite towns near the Syrian border  in keeping with its self-styled role as Lebanons resistance, defending its people against outside foes, usually Israel. Nasrallah has also spoken of a Hezbollah duty to protect an important Shiite shrine in Damascus, in a conflict increasingly waged along sectarian lines. (Most rebels, including local and foreign jihadists, are Sunnis, and draw support from Sunni Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey; the Alawite minority is a Shiite sect, and enjoys the backing of Shiite Iran and Hezbollah.)

The fighting to retake Qusair marks a far deeper level of involvement, however. The Syrian National Council (SNC)  part of the U.S.-recognized opposition coalition  in a statement accused Hezbollah of helping the regime invade Qusair and warned that a massacre could be imminent. Assad forces, with support from Hezbollah militias, as well as Iranian elements, are currently shelling the town of Qusair with various heavy weapons. They are leveling civilian homes with artillery and rocket fire, while the air force provides cover for the Hezbollah militias, it said, adding, there are clear indications that a civilian massacre will soon take place.

The SNC urged the U.N. Security Council to prevent Hezbollah and Iran from violating Syrias borders and invading the homes of its people. The Syrian Expatriate Organization released a report which it said was from a Qusair inhabitant named Ahmed, who said at least 52 people had been killed in the Syrian/Hezbollah bombardment and more than 400 wounded  a toll he said was certain to rise. In their reporting on the offensive, Hezbollahs own media outlet, al-Manar, and Syrian state media referred to only two forces involved in the fighting  the Syrian army and terrorists. The state news agency SANA said the army had eliminated large numbers of terrorists, while scores more were arrested.

Activists say 28 Hezbollah members killed in SyriaMay 20,`13 -- Fierce street fighting in a Syrian town near the Lebanese border has killed at least 28 elite members of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group, activists said Monday, as Syrian government forces pushed deeper into the strategic, opposition-held town.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks Syria's civil war, said that more than 70 Hezbollah fighters have also been wounded in the fighting around the town of Qusair. If confirmed, the casualties would be a significant blow to the Iranian-backed Shiite group, which has come under harsh criticism at home for its involvement in the war next door. A staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, Hezbollah is heavily invested in the survival of the Damascus regime and is known to have sent fighters to aid government forces. The Lebanese group's growing role in the conflict also points to the deeply sectarian nature of the war in Syria, in which a rebellion driven by the country's Sunni majority seeks to overthrow a regime dominated by the president's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

The increasingly overt Hezbollah involvement in the Syrian conflict is almost certain to threaten stability in Lebanon, which is sharply split along sectarian lines, and between supporters and opponents of Assad. The Observatory, which relies on a wide network of activists on the ground in Syria, cited "sources close to the militant group" for the death toll but declined to reveal their identity. It said at least 50 Syrian rebels were also killed in the battle for Qusair on Sunday, including two commanders. Qusair has been the target of a withering government offensive in recent weeks, and the countryside around the town has been engulfed in fighting as regime troops backed by Hezbollah fighters seized villages while closing in on Qusair itself. The opposition estimates that some 40,000 civilians are currently in the town.

The intensity of the fighting reflects the importance that both sides attach to the area. In the regime's calculations, Qusair lies along a strategic land corridor linking Damascus with the Mediterranean coast, the Alawite heartland. For the rebels, overwhelmingly Sunni Qusair has served as a conduit for shipments of weapons and supplies smuggled from Lebanon to opposition fighters inside Syria. Regime troops and Hezbollah fighters, who laid siege to Qusair weeks ago, launched an offensive to regain control of the town, with Hezbollah's elite fighters advancing from the east and south, an opposition figure said.

He added that it took Hezbollah troops a few hours to take control of the town's main square and municipal building. By the end of the day Sunday, they had pushed out rebel units, including the al-Qaida-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra, from most of Qusair, he said on Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation by both sides. He said fighting was focused in the northern part of the town on Monday.
